PENN VIRGINIA RESOURCE PARTNERS, L.P. ANNOUNCES RECORD

QUARTERLY RESULTS AND INCREASES CASH DISTRIBUTION

RADNOR, PA – July 27, 2011… Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) (“PVR”) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended June 30, 2011. In addition, PVR announced a 2.1% increase in the quarterly cash distribution and increased its guidance for the full year 2011.

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter 2011 highlights and results, with comparisons to second quarter 2010 results, included the following:

 

   

Record quarterly EBITDA of $64.8 million as compared to $42.0 million.

 

   

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”), after a $6.7 million provision for replacement capital expenditures, increased by $5.0 million to $34.1 million as compared to $29.1 million. The 2011 DCF reflects PVR’s efforts, which began in the fourth quarter of 2010, to be transparent in recognizing the ongoing reserve replacement capital requirements of the business. There was no corresponding recognition of reserve replacement capital requirements for the second quarter 2010 DCF.

 

   

Adjusted net income of $23.0 million as compared to $13.1 million.

EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and adjusted net income are all non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the financial tables which follow.

For the second quarter of 2011, derivatives income was $4.8 million, as compared to $7.1 million in the prior year quarter. Cash settlements of derivatives included in these amounts resulted in net cash payments of $7.9 million during the second quarter of 2011 related to commodity and interest rate derivatives, as compared to $2.4 million of net cash payments in the prior year quarter.

Cash Distribution

The Board of Directors of Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC, the general partner of PVR, declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.49 per unit payable on August 12, 2011 to unitholders of record as of August 8, 2011. The distribution equates to an annualized rate of $1.96 per unit, and represents a 2.1% increase over the prior quarter and a 4.3% increase over the second quarter of 2010.

Management Comment

“We are pleased to report another quarter of excellent results and strategic progress,” said Bill Shea, CEO of PVR’s general partner. “In June we acquired the Antelope Hills processing plant and related

midstream assets, as well as the Oatesville Reserve coal assets in the Illinois Basin. Also during the quarter we started construction of the second phase of our Lycoming gathering system in the Marcellus Shale. Each of these strategic assets is expected to contribute to the continuing growth of PVR Partners.

“Based on our successful expansions through both internal growth projects and acquisitions, and our business expectations for the balance of this year, we are pleased to announce another increase in our quarterly cash distribution, as well as an increase to our financial guidance for this year”, said Mr. Shea.

Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment

The coal and natural resource management segment reported second quarter 2011 results, with comparisons to second quarter 2010 results, as follows:

 

   

Coal royalty tons of 10.1 million tons, as compared to 8.9 million tons.

 

   

Coal royalties revenue of $44.6 million, or $4.40 per ton, as compared to $34.9 million, or $3.93 per ton.

During the second quarter of 2011, operating income for the coal and natural resource management segment increased by $8.4 million, or 34 percent, to $33.2 million from $24.8 million in the prior year quarter. Total revenues increased by $10.9 million, or 27 percent, to $51.5 million from $40.6 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to increased production and higher average coal royalties. The Middle Fork assets acquired in January 2011 contributed $2.8 million in coal royalties and 0.5 million tons of coal production to these increases.

Natural Gas Midstream Segment

The natural gas midstream segment reported second quarter 2011 results, with comparisons to second quarter 2010 results, as follows:

 

   

Quarterly natural gas midstream system average throughput volumes of 460 million cubic feet (“MMcf”) per day, as compared to 320 MMcf per day. The volume growth came primarily from new business on our Panhandle systems which increased to 314 MMcf per day as compared to 202 MMcf per day, and in the Marcellus Shale regions which increased to 38 MMcf per day as compared with 2 MMcf per day.

 

   

Midstream gross margin of $37.6 million as compared to $24.9 million.

 

   

Midstream gross margin, including the cash impact of midstream derivatives, of $31.7 million, as compared to $24.5 million. The $7.2 million increase was primarily due to a 44% increase in volumes, partially offset by a relative increase in lower-risk, lower margin, percent-of-proceeds and fee-based contracts.

Capital Investment and Resources

PVR spent approximately $38.9 million on internal growth projects during the second quarter of 2011, including $20.1 million in the Marcellus Shale. In addition, PVR closed on approximately $14.6 million in acquisitions in the coal and natural resource segment and $12.2 million in acquisitions in the midstream natural gas segment during the quarter. PVR anticipates investing a total in the range of $180 - $200 million in internal growth capital during 2011, including approximately $120 - $130 million in the Marcellus Shale.

As of June 30, 2011, PVR had borrowings of $580.0 million under its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility


 

PVR Announces Record Second Quarter 2011 Results   Page 3

 

and $10.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, with remaining borrowing capacity of $418.4 million under the revolving credit facility.

Financial Guidance for 2011

PVR also updated its financial guidance for 2011. Based on the strong operating performance during the first half of 2011 and current outlook for the remainder of the year, PVR now anticipates full year 2011 EBITDA in the range of $240 million to $260 million and full year 2011 distributable cash flow (net of maintenance and replacement capital) in the range of $145 million to $160 million. EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP measures; reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP reporting measures appear in the financial tables which follow. These estimates, including capital expenditure plans, are meant to provide guidance only and are subject to revision as our operating environment changes. The guidance for 2011 is based on numerous assumptions about future events and conditions and, therefore, could vary materially from actual results.

Merger Impact and Units Outstanding

The reported financial results include the impact of the merger with Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., (“PVG”) completed on March 10, 2011. Because PVR’s equity-funded merger with PVG has been treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes, the historical results reported for periods prior to the completion of the merger are those of PVG. As a result, the diluted weighted average number of LP units outstanding increased from 38.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 to 71.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Results Conference Call

A conference call and webcast during which management will discuss second quarter 2011 financial and operational results, is scheduled for Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. ET. Prepared remarks by William H. Shea, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, will be followed by a question and answer period. Interested parties may participate via phone by dialing 800-860-2442 (international 412-858-4600) five to ten minutes before the scheduled start of the conference call (reference the Penn Virginia Resource Partners call), or listen via webcast by logging on to our website, www.pvrpartners.com at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the call to download and install any necessary audio software.

Cloues, II to fill the previously vacant position of Chairman of the Board. Mr. Cloues, 63, has served as a Director of Penn Virginia GP, LLC since January 2003.

(a) EBITDA, or earnings before interest, tax and depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), represents operating income plus DD&A, plus impairments. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the coal and natural gas midstream industries. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.
(b) Distributable cash flow represents net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, plus impairments, plus (minus) derivative losses (gains) included in other income, plus (minus) cash received (paid) for derivative settlements, minus equity earnings in joint ventures, plus cash distributions from joint ventures, minus maintenance capital expenditures, minus replacement capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric which is an indicator of our ability to generate cash flows at a level that can sustain or support the quarterly cash distributions paid to our partners. Distributable cash flow is also the quantitative standard used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of publicly traded partnerships. Distributable cash flow is presented because we believe it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Distributable cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.
(c) PVR limited partner unit distributions represent distributions paid to public unitholders and not units owned by PVG prior to the Merger.
(d) Phantom unit grants were made under our long-term incentive plan. Service based phantom units receive nonforfeitable distribution rights; thus, we have presented distributions paid to phantom unit holders in our total distributions paid to Partners.
(e) Net income, as adjusted, represents net income adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives and impairments. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the natural gas midstream industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Net income, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income.

We estimate that, excluding the derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2011 would decrease or increase by approximately $3.3 million. In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price, our natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder 2011 would increase or decrease by approximately $3.4 million. This assumes that crude oil prices, natural gas prices and inlet volumes remain constant at anticipated levels. These estimated changes in gross margin and operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.
